Press: Wichita Sequel

In Wichita, Kans. last week the Eagle screamed with delight. Its owners,
the brothers Victor & Marcellus Murdock, had the supreme joy of
seeing their despised rival, the Beacon, convicted of fraudulent
advertising. The Beacon and its publishers Max & Louis Levand were
tried for labeling certain merchants' advertisements in their Beacon
with a "Seal of Quality" bearing the signature of Dr. Russell
Eugene Hobbs, until lately city physician. Dr. Hobbs had told the grand
jury he had not consented to the use of his signature (TIME, Nov. 6).
